Pick o1 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. 1-bit Bonsai 1.7B only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
o1 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 63 to 39. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
o1's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 69.3 against 20.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is GPQA, 20.7% to 75.7%.
o1 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $15.00 input / $60.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for 1-bit Bonsai 1.7B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. o1 is the reasoning model in the pair, while 1-bit Bonsai 1.7B is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. o1 gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 32K for 1-bit Bonsai 1.7B.
BenchLM keeps the benchmark table and the operator tradeoffs on the same page so a better score does not hide a materially slower, pricier, or smaller-context model.
Runtime metrics show N/A when BenchLM does not have a sourced snapshot for that exact model. The scoring rules and freshness policy are documented on the methodology page.
